Tips To Increase Bookings For Your Holiday Home
Here are some of our tips
1 / Pay for a quality website. You need to your own website to present your property properly. One major restriction of a listing website (real estate or 3rd party booking website) is the layout. You have no control over it and your property gets lost amongst the other properties. A website is a great way to stand out and having your own personalised promotional material. Also, your photos can be displayed in high resolution which makes your property look even better.
2 / Photography. Have a professional photographer take the photo, it makes a huge difference. Make sure the property and location are the heroes.
3 / Holiday Home Website Design considerations. The design should allow for High-Resolution photos, be nicely laid out, use simple colors and be mobile friendly (maximizing usability while viewers are commuting or in a social setting).
4 / Offer useful information. Where is the closest takeaway, supermarket, liquor store and attractions? Shoppers need to feel like they are being looked after. Provide maps, photos, links to other websites.
5 / Have a social media plan – you need to keep posting. Exchanging information like best places to stay or holiday experience is largely done by word of mouth.
6 / Hire a Digital Marketing / SEO professional. Now that you have a website you need to start ranking it. The investment is a good ranking website will easily pay for itself once you receive some bookings.
Act NOW
…and get a better holiday home website, that will look good for your holiday home but more importantly, starts generating leads so you can rent your property as soon as possible. The longer your property is left vacant the more it will cost you. How much are the monthly repayments, $3-5,000?. An investment in a website and SEO can easily be recouped in rental sales, and more importantly, provide ongoing leads to rent throughout the year.
